For this past couple of weeks I have completed a really simple hood that I can tuck inside my winter coat. I tend toward earaches and covering up my whole head helps to prevent that. Anyway, the pictures of it follow.
This is a very simple knit piece done in a long piece with a seam up the back.
Since I don't reverse my work when I knit it is rather difficult to explain how I made this.
Simply decide how wide you want each side, I used 58 stitches.
The first three rows were in garter stitch, knit 1 row, perl 1 row, knit 1 row.
Row 4 is perl 2 stitches, knit 2 stitches, repeat until the end with 2 perl stitches ending.
Row 5 is all knit.
The rest of the rows are 4 and 5 for as long as you want it.
The last three rows are knit, perl, and knit.
Sew up the back and you are done.
I also managed to make a doily and a couple of coasters for one of the grandkids hopeless chests.
Last Friday I shipped off the slouch hat for my daughters birthday. I also shipped the hat/basket that was the first one I made.
This is the slouch hat and the Mad Hatter Basket follows.
My next project is as follows:
I hope to use up my leftover #10 thread in assorted colors.
